After missing the original December release date due to network issues, Nintendo has slowly been releasing the Pokemon Bank and Poke Transporter apps around the world. Yesterday Nintendo teased that they'd be coming "soon," and they weren't kidding; now gamers in North America can now fire up the Nintendo eShop and download the apps for themselves!

For those who don't know, Pokemon Bank is an online service that allows you to store up to 3000 of your Pokemon from X and Y in the cloud, and Poke Transporter allows you to retrieve Pokemon from your Black, White, Black 2, and White 2 versions and store them in the cloud as well. The only catch is that if there are any items attached to your Pokemon, they'll automatically be removed and returned to your bag in X or Y. If you download Pokemon Bank before March 14th, you'll get a 30-day free trial; after that, it'll cost $4.99 per year to use.

But that's not all! If you use the app before September, you'll get the legendary Pokemon Celebi! For a step-by-step guide on how to get your Celebi, click here. (I tried it myself and can vouch for it.)

So there you have it trainers. What Pokemon are you most excited to bring over to X and Y? Sound off in the comments below!
